Tickets for President Obama’s Tuesday Fort Collins event available Saturday

Tickets will be available starting at noon Saturday for President Barack Obama’s Tuesday campaign stop at Colorado State University in Fort Collins.

Doors open at 2 p.m. Tuesday for the event on Monfort Quad, though Obama isn’t likely to speak until closer to 5 p.m.

The speech is part of a two-day tour of college campuses, including the University of Virginia and Iowa State University, and is scheduled at the same time as the second night of the Republican National Convention in Tampa.

Tickets are free but required for entry. They will be available on a one-per-person, first-come first-served basis at these locations:
